LinkedIn is reportedly displaying older posts in its news feed due to an algorithm change, which has caused frustration among users seeking timely updates. This adjustment is part of ongoing efforts to enhance user engagement and content visibility on the platform.

An analysis of the LinkedIn algorithm reveals that content reach has declined due to a shift in how posts are prioritized in users' feeds. Initially, the algorithm favors posts from users' connections but soon promotes content from new creators and sponsored posts, leading to decreased visibility of familiar contacts. This strategy aims to increase engagement but may result in users seeing less of the content from people they follow.
